I've been working on decks of bespoke cards for my Dux Italica variant using Adobe InDesign and a bunch of PNG files I picked up for a few quid on Etsy. Pretty pleased with these! Most cards are simply the same or very similar to the core rules, but there are a few in these and the unsuited deck that are my creations. These examples are Romans/Latins (wolf) and Samnites/Hill Tribes (bull).

4th Century BCE Romans for Dux Brit adaptation 'Dux Italica'
Finally back on my Republican Romans for the Conquest of Italy project. Have transferred to a self-written supplement for Too Fat Ladies Dux Britanniarum rather than Midgard as the local group play loads of Dux Brit but haven't taken to Midgard, sadly.
Anyway, having painted a bunch of Antepilani (proto-hastati) over a year ago, I finally got back on track and did some more (proto-Princepes this time).
Here's all the Antepilani, 2 Satus 2 Centurions and a unit of Rorarii (skirmishers). The Pilani (proto-Triarii) and the Status 3 Tribune are now on the painting table.
